The sensor of a conventional photographing camera is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. As advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed the pixel size of sensors to be reduced and compact optical lens systems have gradually evolved toward the field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for compact optical lens systems featuring better image quality.

However, the thickness of the lenses, the distance between the lenses, and the distance between the lenses and the image plane cannot be reduced effectively, so that the size and the total track length of the image capturing optical system cannot be reduced.

The second lens element with negative refractive power corrects the aberration generated from the first lens element with positive refractive power. The second lens element has a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, so that the astigmatism of the image capturing optical system can be corrected. Furthermore, the second lens element has inflection points formed on the image-side surface thereof, so that the incident angle of the off-axis field on the image sensor can be effectively reduced and the aberration can be corrected as well.

The third lens element with refractive power has a convex image-side surface, so that the astigmatism of the image capturing optical system can be corrected.

The fourth lens element with positive refractive power provides partial positive refractive power of the image capturing optical system for balancing the distribution of the positive refractive power of the first lens element, the excessive spherical aberration generated from the first lens element can be avoided for reducing the sensitivity of the image capturing optical system. The fourth lens element has a concave object-side surface and the convex image-side surface, so that the astigmatism of the image capturing optical system can be reduced.

The fifth lens element with negative refractive power has a concave image-side surface, so that the principal point of the image capturing optical system can be positioned away from the image plane, and the total track length of the image capturing optical system can be reduced so as to maintain the compact size of the image capturing optical system. Furthermore, the fifth lens element has inflection points formed on at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface thereof, so that the incident angle of the off-axis field on the image sensor can be effectively reduced and the aberration can be corrected as well.

0<R3/R4<1.0

Therefore, the refractive power of the second lens element can be adjusted properly for correcting the aberration generated from the first lens element.

When a focal length of the image capturing optical system is f, an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is Td, and an air conversion distance between the image-side surface of the fifth lens element and an image plane is BFL, the following relationship is satisfied:

4 mm²<(Td×f)+(BFL×f)<10 mm².

Therefore, the distances between the lens elements are proper for reducing the total track length of the image capturing optical system.

When the focal length of the image capturing optical system is f, and a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, the following relationship is satisfied:

0<f/f4<2.2.

Therefore, the refractive power of the fourth lens element is proper can avoid the excessive spherical aberration generated from the first lens element, and reduce the sensitivity of the image capturing optical system.

When a maximum image height of the image capturing optical system is ImgH, and an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image plane is TTL, the following relationship is satisfied:

TTL/ImgH<1.7.

Therefore, the image capturing optical system with short total track length can maintain the compact size for portable electronic products.

TTL and ImgH can further satisfy the following relationship:

TTL/ImgH<1.55.

When the axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image plane is TTL, the following relationship is satisfied:

1.0 mm<TTL<3.5 mm.

Therefore, the compact size of the image capturing optical system can be maintained.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is R1, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the first lens element is R2, the following relationship is satisfied:

−0.5<R1/R2<0.5.

Therefore, the total track length of the image capturing optical system can be reduced by adjusting the curvature of the surfaced of the first lens element.

When the focal length of the image capturing optical system is f, and a focal length of the third lens element is f3, the following relationship is satisfied:

−0.5<f/f3<0.5.

Therefore, the astigmatism of the image capturing optical system can be corrected by adjusting the refractive power of the third lens element.

When a maximal field of view is FOV, the following relationship is satisfied:

73 degrees<FOV<85 degrees.

Therefore, the wider range of the image can be captured by adjusting the field of view of the image capturing optical system properly.

When the focal length of the image capturing optical system is f, and a focal length of the second lens element is f2, the following relationship is satisfied:

−1.0<f/f2<−0.2.

Therefore, the aberration generated from the first lens element can be corrected by adjusting the refractive power of the second lens element.

When the focal length of the image capturing optical system is f, the following relationship is satisfied:

1.5 mm<f<3.0 mm.

Therefore, the focal length of the image capturing optical system is proper for maintaining the compact size thereof.

According to the image capturing optical system of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plastic material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the image capturing optical system may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the cost of manufacture can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be aspheric, so that it is easier to make the surfaces into non-spherical shapes. As a result, more controllable variables are obtained, and the aberration is reduced, as well as the number of required lens elements can be reduced while constructing an optical system. Therefore, the total track length of the image capturing optical system can also be reduced.

According to the image capturing optical system of the present disclosure, when a lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is convex; and when a lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is concave.

According to the image capturing optical system of the present disclosure, the image capturing optical system can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, glare stop, field stop, etc. Said glare stop or said field stop is allocated for reducing stray light while retaining high image quality. Furthermore, when a stop is an aperture stop, the position of the aperture stop within an optical system can be arbitrarily placed in front of the entire lens assembly, within the lens assembly, or in front of the image plane in accordance with the preference of the optical designer, in order to achieve the desirable optical features or higher image quality produced from the optical system.
